Manchester City fan Gallagher, who was celebrating at the Eithad in May as Rooney was facing up to losing the title at Sunderland, took another swipe at the forward when he was asked what kind of clothes he would wear when he reached old age.

He replied: "As long as you look cool and you've got your own head of hair, that's all I care about."

It is the second time Rooney has fallen foul of the Gallagher brothers.

Coleen Rooney sent Noel Gallagher her husband's £2,000 Gibson electric guitar to sign for Wayne's 22nd birthday - but Liam's estranged brother returned it sprayed City blue, with the lyrics to club anthem Blue Moon written on it, together with the words 'Happy Birthday Spongebob'.

Noel played a similar prank on Rooney's former team-mate Gary Neville, signing his guitar with the words 'Happy Birthday Knobhead'.
